Role overview
The Eating Anxiety Treatment (EAT) Laboratory is seeking full-time Research Scientist who will provide scientific direction and oversight of the EAT Lab digital treatment research team serving as a liaison between the clinical and data science teams to translate evidence-based psychological interventions into accessible digital tools. This position would be an excellent fit for a mission-driven, team-oriented, experienced clinical scientist who may not want to independently direct and manage a research lab as sole PI, but is excited about taking on a collaborative leadership role to propel our lab's scientific mission, primarily by serving as PI, MPI or Co-I on grant submissions and large-scale projects. The start date is negotiable and the position can be hybrid (with some time working in-person at our lab in Louisville) or remote.
This position will have guaranteed funding for 1 year. After year 1, funding support would come from a combination of grants and contracts within the lab (we have a wide variety of ongoing support sources for our team members, including traditional federal grants from NIH, NSF, and contracts with foundation, industry, and nonprofit partners). It is also possible to write independent grants such as a K award.
What you'll work on
- Assisting with writing grants and scientific papers
- Co-leading intervention, intensive longitudinal data, implementation, and technology development projects aligned with the lab's mission
- Providing clinical supervision to study clinicians
- Assisting with mentoring graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, research analysts, and staff
